The Daily Word of Righteousness
In My Father's House, #6
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (Matthew 11:27)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
Of this multitude there are a few who keep the words of Christ, attempting to do His will each day. These few are the ones who love Christ. Christ comes to them, one at a time, and chooses them, giving them the "white stone" of approval.
Christ announces the name of each saint to His Father in Heaven. Then Jesus comes to him and becomes in him the Way to the Father.
It is the revelation of the Father that is so important.
The purification process, the necessary preparation, continues throughout our lifetime on earth. All is being made ready so we may dwell in God, and God in us, for eternity.
A place is being prepared for us in the Father's House. The Father's House is the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ was prepared for our eternal union with Himself by His death on the cross.
In the beginning, Christ created mankind. But in order for an individual to be brought into eternal union with Christ, to be married to Him, Christ Himself had to be changed and prepared. We state this reverently.
Before His birth in the manger, the Lord Jesus Christ was the eternal Word of God—the Creator of all spirits and things in Heaven and on the earth.
Then the Father invited the Word to pray for the nations and the farthest reaches of the earth that He might receive them for His possession. These are the inheritance of the eternal Word—the nations and the farthest reaches of the earth (Psalms 2:8).
Why would the Living Word be invited to pray for what He Himself had created?
The answer has to do with love, with eternal union, with marriage.
In order for Christ to receive the nations of peoples for His inheritance He had to be made flesh. The Word had to become flesh and live among us.
That brought Him into relationship to us as our Friend, and also made possible the desired relationship: eternal union.
The Essence of Christ is eternal and never changes. Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.
However, in becoming flesh, the Word of God was changed eternally in structure. God has become a man. The Word has become flesh and has dwelled among us, being seen of angels. Christ never will cease being the eternal Word of God. But now He is a man forever because it is only by being a man that He can be in eternal union with us.
Christ appears in the Book of Revelation as both the Lion and the Lamb. He is the Lion because He is King of kings and Lord of lords.
He is the slain Lamb so we may enter union with Him by eating Him—the Passover Lamb.
To be continued.
